Brain metabolism has long been seen through a neuron-centric lens, casting glia as passive supporters. This narrow view has limited research, slowed translation, and confused clinical understanding. Highly needed editorial by @bolanosjuanp et al. 👉 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jn…

Thank you, @erzimmer for your comments, reminding everyone of the importance of not just looking regionally but also of the value of going into communities. When thinking globally, we must also think about communities to reach the future generation of researchers.

New paper out! We explored immune-related proteins in CSF and plasma in Alzheimer's disease, linking TSPO PET to neuroinflammation. Highlights: CXCL1 and TNFRSF11B in CSF show strong links to TSPO and AD pathways. Check it out! dx.doi.org/10.1002/alz.70…
